Hello everyone!
I've been some days without internet here in Poland cause my
girlfriend disconnected it for the summer ..
About conjugations .. there are plenty online resources that we can
use to fetch the right conjugation. A multi-language one is
wiktionary.com (maybe not so good for Spanish). This one has also the
pronunciation of the words .. ;)
About my progress .. I guess not so big lately .. from Monday I'll be
on a more stable schedule .. thx for being patient ;)
Have a nice Sunday ;)
Greetings from Nowy Sącz!!
aK!
